The festival is urging fans not to buy "speculative tickets" on the secondary market, since there are no PDF tickets.
This year's lineup also features Kim Deal, Iron & Wine, Julien Baker & Torres, Mt. Joy, Mon Rovîa and Waxahatchee. The festival's lineup last year included Hozier, Killer Mike, the Dropkick Murphys and the Oh Hellos.
A variety of artists have performed at the Newport Folk Festival in the past as well, including Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, Brandi Carlile, Lana Del Ray and Jimmy Buffett.
